Ichi the Killer – Chinese Movie – US Version

Ichi KillerProlific director Miike Takashi (Audition) keeps finding new ways to test the boundaries of on-screen violence. Ichi the Killer is a masterful piece of filmmaking, simultaneously funny and horrific, but it’s only for viewers with strong stomachs. Miike’s film is full of grotesquely over-the-top violent set pieces, including flying entrails, graphic mutilations, and even a severed human face splattered against a wall and slowly sliding to the ground. It’s all captured with kinetic camerawork and hyperactive editing. It’s not for everyone, but bolder viewers will find it uniquely entertaining.

Kakihara (Japanese indie film heartthrob Asano Tadanobu) is a masochistic yakuza lieutenant, with slits in his cheeks through which he blows cigarette smoke, who gleefully hacks off his own tongue to apologize for his impudence. Eponymous assassin Ichi (Omori Nao) is a painfully shy but sadistic young voyeur who wears a leather superhero outfit to work. Manipulated by the cagey and mysterious Jijii or “Gramps” (Tsukamoto Shinya), Ichi lashes out and massacres those Jijii deems bullies, and basically anyone else who upsets his frail psyche. Jijii uses the demented lad to start a bloody war between rival yakuza factions.
